The Sailor Suit: Late 1800s through the 1930s

The sailor girl look was popular as swimwear in the late 1880s and evolved into the next century to include sportswear such as tennis and sailing and even casual dresses.

Nautical fashion was popular for children, too. Both boys and girls wore sailor style outfits

1928 ensemble • Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two illustrated fashion catalog pages. The one on the right featuring the popular 1920s middy blouse in the nautical style. The blouse derived its name from the word "midshipman". The catalog page on the left shows models photographed wearing the middy style blouse tucked into a straight tennis skirt and a pleated skirt with the middy worn untucked, in what is perhaps a sailing ensemble.

Athletic ensemble • American • 1929 • Metropolitan Museum of Art

In early 20th-century America, sailor dresses were very popularly known as Peter Thomson dresses after the former naval tailor credited with creating the style for the U.S. Navy.

The Boating Party (1893–1894) 🎨 Mary Cassatt 🏛️ National Gallery of Art, Washington DC 📍 Washington, DC, United States

This bold composition reveals the influence of the flat, patterned surfaces, simplified color, and unusual angles of Japanese prints, which enjoyed a huge vogue in Paris in the late 1800s. The dark figure of the man compresses the picture onto the flat plane of the canvas, and the horizon is pushed to the top, collapsing a sense of distance. Our higher vantage point gives us an oblique view into the boat. Its form is divided into decorative shapes by the intersection of its horizontal supports.

After 1893, Cassatt began to spend many summers on the Mediterranean coast at Antibes. Under its intense sun, she began to experiment with harder, more decorative color. Here, citron and blue carve strong arcs that divide the picture into assertive, almost abstract, shapes. This picture, with its bold geometry and decorative patterning of the surface, positions Cassatt with such post–impressionist painters as Gauguin and Van Gogh.

This painting, one of her most ambitious, was the centerpiece of Cassatt's first solo exhibition in the United States in 1895. Her contacts with wealthy friends in the United States did much to bring avant–garde French painting into this country.
